The Oxygen Paradigm

This is a lecture by Dr. Philip James at the 2001 International Symposium of Hyperbaric Oxygen for the Brain-Injured Child. I think Dr. James gives a good overview of reasons to utilize HBOT for brain injury.

About Me

I am the father of a wonderful 10 year old who suffered from lack of oxygen at birth (hypoxic-ischemic encephalopathy (HIE)), along with seizures shortly after birth. He has cerebral palsy, GERD, gastroparesis, developmental delay and cortical vision impairment (CVI), as well as secondary microcephaly (small head circumference) due to this lack of oxygen at birth. My wife and I have researched standard and alternative therapies for these conditions. This site's purpose is to discuss these treatments and their effectiveness.
